Day 2 for me (I think - does it count that way when I had the first session yesterday?). The Taxotere was fine though I didn't like the frozie gloves... I had a reaction to the Cyclophosphamide that sent my chest all buzzy which slowed the process whilst the tests were made on me to ascertain that it was normal - luckily it was. We'll know to expect it next time. I feel fine so far except for aching legs and not much sleep thanks to the Dexamethasone. It's worth it for the lack of nausea :-)
I feel very bloated when I eat and am keeping the water up to flush my kidneys - I'm peeing like a tap! It will be interesting to see what happens next.... I must confess I feel very nervous.. the staff at the unit are sooo helpful! has anyone suggested your 19yr old get in touch with CANTEEN? I had a chat with my 20yr old daughter last night and she is going to give them a call. I don't think she is handling all this as much as she is pretending to. She was struck with sudden nausea when she tried to take me in for my treatment and i had to drive back home and put her to bed with a bucket then head for the bus stop. She was very upset..
